check out this fantastic silver and black brocade dress (currently up on eBay), which is being auctioned to benefit Writercon, the fantastic conference for fanfic writers and enthusiasts.
I’m only showing you the close-up picture because you *have* to click on the image and check it out for yourself. It’s hand made from vintage fabric! It has a watermelon-colored lining and matching petticoat! It’s princess-lined! It’s also B39/W32, with a 19 inch skirt — putting the voom in va-va-voom! (And, when I wrote this, it was going for $24.99!)
Proceeds from this auction are going to benefit the scholarship fund for Writercon, which helps folks who couldn’t otherwise afford to attend, attend. (I’ve never been to Writercon myself, but I’ve heard fantastic things about it — in my book, anything that encourages writing of any kind is completely a good cause.)
So, now that we’ve recognized that this dress is great, and Writercon is great, we have time to get to the essential question: would Xander Harris like this dress? Discuss.
